Chapter 512: Single‑Minded Blockade, Curved‑Line Salvation

It has been proven that wanting to become the mainstream sixth heavenly disaster in the present universe is not an easy matter.

Because entropy disaster itself is the sixth heavenly disaster; if he actually managed it, humanity would have lived in vain for all those centuries.

Of course, even now, no one can give an accurate figure for how many eras the universe has undergone, and even whether there are other civilizations in the explored universe remains unknown.

The universe is vaster than imagination; the current concept of the universe is merely the sum of places humans have explored and can reach, and no one knows whether there are other star alliances like theirs, or even more advanced civilizations.

Of course, Chen also knows this, so he does not expect to achieve it all at once; being able to truly verify the existence of this thing is his greatest gain.

After widely accepting the notion of merging with the heavenly disaster, the number of times the Gene Star Alliance interior is attacked by heavenly disasters keeps decreasing; rather than saying they have mastered the technology to be immune to heavenly disasters, it's more like they are gradually being regarded as the same kind.....

Under current conditions, no star alliance can be completely immune to heavenly disaster attacks; this is impossible.

Therefore, the Gene Star Alliance now is gradually merging into the heavenly disaster, turning itself into a part of the heavenly disaster.....

Especially after undergoing the 'baptism' of entropy disaster, their forms have become even more closely aligned with the heavenly disaster.

Insect disaster, beast disaster, blood disaster—these three carbon‑based heavenly disasters are wildly mixed throughout the Gene Star Alliance; even if someone claimed they were human, no one would believe it.

Civilizations with a bit of thinking ability that haven't fallen that quickly have already broken away from them, seeking refuge in the Iron Law Star Alliance, while the rest have long been drawn into this transformation.

But as this transformation deepens, the side effects brought by this behavior become increasingly apparent.

And this side effect, due to continually drawing near the heavenly disaster, now causes them to involuntarily generate thoughts of destroying civilizations, develop a bloodthirsty killing instinct, and an instinct to destroy all order.

This is even a vicious cycle: the more one cannot resist this instinct, the deeper the heavenly disaster transformation becomes; the deeper the transformation, the harder it is to resist the instinct.

Being single‑minded and blocked at both ends, this is also why Chen is urgently seeking the will of the heavenly disaster.

Becoming the sixth heavenly disaster is neither difficult nor distant, but when they truly reach that point, are they still themselves?

"Third contact experiment, begin."

Compared to Chen's single‑minded blockage over there, Zhang Jie's side is going smoothly.

First, they determined that the so‑called heavenly disaster will has no coordinates in the universe, which also rules out it being a product created by some diseased civilization.

Well, just like the current 'God‑ascendant', whenever Zhang Jie later encounters something he can't solve, or his mind slips, if he inserts the true blank AI, this thing could very well become something not inferior to the heavenly disaster will.

But that's for the future; what he needs to do now is how to prevent the heavenly disasters from being influenced by the heavenly disaster will.

As long as the influence of this will is completely eliminated, then in a sense all heavenly disasters in the universe are truly purged.

Civilization insect disaster and heavenly disaster insect clan are essentially the same species, yet they receive completely different treatment; the heavenly disaster insect clan persecutes the civilization insect disaster the most, so there is a deep blood‑sea grudge between them.

But if Zhang Jie truly eliminates the influence of the heavenly disaster will, then these heavenly disasters could survive like normal organisms!..... But the problem then arises.

Once a civilization insect disaster and a heavenly disaster insect clan meet....

Every time he thinks of this, Zhang Jie sees a picture in his mind.

For example:

Insect disaster 1: "You're an insect disaster? How coincidental! I am too!"

Insect disaster 2: "Really that coincidental! Brother, are you a heavenly disaster insect clan or a civilization insect disaster?"

Insect disaster 1: "You go first, brother."

Insect disaster 2: "It's fine, you go first."

Well, the same goes for mechanical intelligences....

"This time we adopt a gentle contact method."

"Are you ready?"

Now only Zhang Jie dares to audience the heavenly disaster will; whether it's Yuan or Tulunsen, neither has that kind of daring, and of course it's not because they are timid.

After Zhang Jie resisted the Nightmare's invasion of the brain, he seems to have gained a special immunity to the heavenly disaster's will.

They have also tried other experimental subjects, but without exception, anyone who has audience the heavenly disaster will has been severely affected and is still undergoing treatment.

"Let's start quickly."

The device slowly started up, and everyone held their breath.

Outside the laboratory, Xiao Jiu sat on a chair, anxiously waiting.

"Zhang Jie, how are you doing this dangerous experiment again? Xiao Jiu, won't you persuade him?"

Daitao was chewing a specialty brought from some civilization, while Xiao Jiu pressed his lips and said nothing.

"Persuade? Forget it, Zhang Jie isn't doing this for the first time; sometimes Xiao Jiu really fears that Zhang Jie will play himself to death."

As for Daitao's words, Xiao Jiu could only shake his head and give a wry smile.

"Sometimes thinking.... sometimes just being able to see humans is a kind of happiness...."

"Eh~ This is so cheesy?"

"Tsk, you were the same before—when you were just picked up by humans, you cried and begged to be taken in."

"Idiot! Why are you exposing my shortcomings?"

The horseplay temporarily dispelled Xiao Jiu's anxiety.....

"Phew...."

"It has been proven that this thing fundamentally cannot be communicated; no matter what kind of contact, it's useless."

"Okay, you can rest now."

Yuan began comparing the research data, while Zhang Jie stood up and started thinking about the next research direction.

The experiment went smoothly, but he didn't know that what Chen is currently doing and what he is doing are remarkably similar in effect, yet their purposes are completely different.

In fact, the underlying logic of Chen's actions, to some extent, has not deviated from his original track; his thoughts have already been bent into curved‑line salvation, just as a certain person's simulation entry once said.

Attempting to control the heavenly disaster, then attempting to become the heavenly disaster, to coexist with it.

Merging into the heavenly disaster's interior.... would one no longer have to face heat death.... right?

This is obviously impossible... the existence of the heavenly disaster is born alongside civilization; when civilization perishes, the heavenly disaster disappears as well.

But his actions have indeed truly stepped onto the path of becoming a heavenly disaster.....

But his actions also truly set him on the path to becoming a natural disaster.....

(All adoptive fathers, yesterday something urgent came up suddenly, I had no choice but to abandon all adoptive fathers, ginseng until now.... already 36 hours without sleep)

(So, after finishing writing about ginseng, I need to go catch up on sleep; if I don't sleep, ginseng won't be able to see the sun of the next day.....)

(Oh right, the life entry of the Star Sea leader and Curve Salvation, ginseng posted that in the comment section of that passage, so I won't bother you adoptive fathers to go look earlier....)
